Miyun collectively relocated 20 towns and streets, 205 villages, and over 16,000 people.
On July 31, Beijing held a press conference on flood control and disaster relief. Yu Weiguo, the secretary of the Miyun District Committee, introduced that before the flood season, Miyun District, in accordance with the work plan, based on the weather warning situation, evacuated and sheltered the people in the risky villages and households listed in the statistics account in advance. A total of 20 towns and streets, 205 villages, and over 16,000 people were evacuated in the whole district. "For a long time, the central area of Taishitun Town, where the elderly care center is located, has been considered safe and was not included in the evacuation plan. This shows that our plan has loopholes, and our understanding of extreme weather is insufficient," said Yu Weiguo. He emphasized that the painful lesson has awakened us, and adhering to the principle of "people first, life first" should not just be a slogan, but should be implemented solidly in measures.
